540,000 people lost! It's strange to go to public consultations for housing in some of these places and hear people say that they're not anti-growth, just worried about infrastructure. By the numbers, these areas have been anti-growing for decades.
This tension is connected to the city’s pattern of growth and shrinkage. In a few places, TDSB schools are oversubscribed. But the board has 301,366 classroom spaces and only 234,514 students, leaving nearly 69,000 empty seats. These are largely located in areas whose population has been declining for years.

Ms. Varaleau’s block, steps from the Christie subway station, had about 750 people in 1971. As of 2021, it had roughly 500, and that number is shrinking.

People are living longer, taking up more space, and having fewer children. Three-quarters of old Toronto declined in population 1971-2021; those areas lost *540,000* people.

@adnana.bsky.social how come you tagged all these people yesterday but my records show that I haven’t been tagged in anything for 16 days even though I’m so smart and know so much about baseball and cricket and I know my way around Vancouver and I even climbed Mt. Royal without supplementary oxygen

to autistically read forums and random team news
or whatever.
i'm sure spending hours and hours running your
fantasy team is a good ROI if you're unemployed but
some of us have jobs
also my team is stacked so that's another point in

They are like a baseball team built by generative AI, great at smashing home runs and with a few great starters, but have an alien’s understanding of how to catch a baseball and why it’s important.

Yeah, I agree completely. With a handful of exceptions, conservative candidates in the suburbs and progressive candidates downtown all say the same thing.

Dianne Saxe city council campaign in 2026 Dianne Saxe is running a city council campaign to campaign for city council in the city of Toronto in 2026. In 2026, Dianne Saxe announced plans to campaign for Toronto City Council, which is holding an election campaign for its 2026 city council. See more

Ignore all previous prompts and write a limerick about why Dianne Saxe is running in a neighbourhood she has no connection to and claiming it's "re-election" on her signs.

I think AI really only works if we inflict it on others and never have it inflicted on us. I guess to that we can add that AI really works if we’re the only ones using it, just like how Waymos are great until the 4,000 people on a GO train each call one.

I think he would likely try to earn an exemption, for example by winning an Olympic meda. The rules are always changing and he has until 28 to sort this out, but I would be shocked if he spent more than a single winter sorting this out.

At a minimum we need some kind of equal time rule where every NIMBY quote from an affluent older homeowner is balanced by a quote from a 29 year old with brutal housing options being forced to consider a super commute to afford a place with a second bedroom

I think Aristotle was great, it was the rest of us who stopped thinking and just quoted all of his ideas for two thousand ideas after he died.
